First-Time Home Buyer Services
Your Trusted Guide to Mountain Homeownership in Durango & New Mexico
Understanding the First-Time Buyer Journey
Every buyer faces unique hopes and concerns. Having raised my family in Durango, I know the realities of mountain homeownership—heating costs, septic systems, well water, and the daily rhythms of mountain living.
I take time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and budget so you can make decisions that feel right for both today and the future.
Buying your first home is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. I still remember when my wife and I purchased our first home, and I know the mix of anticipation and questions that come with the process. My role is to simplify the journey, providing patient, step-by-step guidance so you feel confident at every stage.
